# A piece of aluminum with a mass of \( 1.0 \) \( \text{kg} \) and density of \( 2700 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \) is suspended from a light cord and then completely immersed in a container of water having density \( 1000 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \). Determine the tension in the cord when the aluminum is immersed in the container of water.
